Raymond Lam won the 'Gold Song Gold Award' for CHOK, which have led to a lot of Netizens displeased. Even Moses Chan and Wong He expressed they haven't heard of the song. Sandy Lam expressed she never heard Raymond's songs before. Yesterday Raymond attended an event and expressed his opinion: "Artists are very passive, each company has their own mechanism. Each year, I carry a joyous mood to the award ceremonies, but the news are unpredictable. After all as an artist, it's best to just do my own part. CHOK is not an avenue song, but to me it is a new try, new style and I'm surprised that it got an award. However, for a fast song it is indeed outstanding. The melody, arrangement, lyrics and the whole team matches quite well. (Is your next aim to get the 'Male Singer Award'?) Haha! In 50 years!" It was said CHOK cannot compare to the gold songs from the past, Raymond felt CHOK really isn't a main stream song, the song name originated from Hong Kong, he just hopes everyone will give it a sympathetic response.
Raymond generously accepts opinions from the public and does not feel he's being hurt: "Artists do not care about personal opinion, the work done is for everyone to enjoy." Asked if TVB feels the more love they give him, the more its hurting him? Raymond said: "It has never been like that. Sandy Lam haven't heard my songs before? They are all my seniors, the people in the same industry will understand the rules."
